About the Book

‘… the universal poet, servant of the medium, renewer of the forms, discoverer of the nugget of harmony in the language of ourselves.' Seamus Heaney 'He brings to Irish poetry an invaluable chronicle of mixed allegiances and lost worlds of the ambiguities of the colony and the defeats of victory. No one else has quite had his themes; no one else has quite ventured on his enquiries.' Eavan Boland Edited, with a new introduction, by acclaimed poets Michael Longley and Frank Ormsby, 'Selected Poems' is a testament to John Hewitt’s remarkable literary legacy, and a celebration of a unique, compelling and still urgent voice in 20th century Irish poetry.

Frank Ormsby was editor of The Honest Ulsterman from 1969 to 1989 and has also edited a number of anthologies, including Poets from the North of Ireland,The Hip Flask: Short Poems from Ireland and The Blackbird's Nest: An Anthology of Poetry from Queen's University Belfast. He has published three collections of poetry, including The Ghost Train in 1995. He is Head of English at the Royal Belfast Academical Institution.

Review :
'He outstrips the categories we keep invoking for him, such as "doyen of Ulster poets" or "conscience of the planter tradition". He becomes, instead, the universal poet, servant of the medium, renewer of the forms, discoverer of the nugget of harmony in the language of ourselves.' SEAMUS HEANEY 'He brings to Irish poetry an invaluable chronicle of mixed allegiances and lost worlds of the ambiguities of the colony and the defeats of victory. No one else has quite had his themes; no one else has quite ventured on his enquiries.' EAVAN BOLAND
